Those blue flowers are beautiful!

Thanks....They're called Clematis. They have all kinds of colors. I'm trying to afford the white ones.

 

[Maggie Cummings]

I'm so sorry Maggie! That should be illegal!!!

Morning Maggie, sorry about your car. That's a total bummer

Thanks Actually you just might be surprised, but I'm handling it fairly well. I'M surprised.....lol. Now that I'm not in a temper, you know I wouldn't paint my car like that.....but I AM going to make signs. And I think little by little I will fix one thing at a time. I WILL drive this car until I die. And it will look beautiful and still drive like the wind

My mom constantly tried to grow Clematis in Spokane and it rarely flowers, hence not being able to ID it! We have roses at the new place, I'm not really a fan of them. I might see if someone wants to come dig them up. I'll keep the Camellia (sp) though, it is gorgeous. (at least that's what I'm told it is, i'm not sure)

Look at what I found....That's me and my big truck and my car, what a happy group. And I love this pix of Bob, I think I'll enlarge it and put it in a frame....

It's a Camellia......

Ummm? Are you not sure if it's gorgeous, or are not sure if it's a Camilla? In either case, I'd have to say it's both, gorgeous and as Maggie has pointed out, it's a Camilla. On a side note, I think that type is a "double blossom" Camilla. The single blossom make fantastic bonsai. Well for Camilla, they all make fantastic bonsai. I'll find some pictures for you.

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

Well here you go. Not the promised bonsai but Camilla from Oregon

I have one of those. It took quite awhile to get big. I love roses! It's one of the few plants I can grow easily, they smell nice, and tortoises eat them. The only downside is the thorns.

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

Out of curiosity, (fine-boredom) I looked to see what the tortoisetable had to say concerning camellias, I was pleasantly surprised…

And no thorns or smell…

I have 5 varieties of clematis!!! I Love them!!!

 

[Jacqui]

I have only two colors of clematis these days (I think). Use to have a third one. They are pretty when they bloom, but that's only in the spring.

Now roses I love, except like mentioned the thorns. Figure those are kinda the payment for the beauty visually and in the aroma. I do not like a rose with no smell. I want to smell them on the breeze on a warm afternoon.

Your tortoises might enjoy them though.

I have a row of rose plants in the back yard. Once I bought a rose plant just for the smell. The smell was so amazing that even though I didn't have a spot for it, I bought it and put it in the front yard. It still smells wonderful. My daughter loves it too. My husband can't smell it at all but he can smell the roses in the backyard.

Wish I knew what this is. It smells like a perfume store. I've never smelled a fragrance so strong from a bloom

I rode around and around the two pastures on my riding lawn mower (while the mower did the work of cutting the weeds). Not really work, kinda fun.

I was so excited to visit the Detroit Zoo.... How disappointing....look at these pictures....ugh! These are the pancake tortoises...the enclosure was VERY small, and completely yuck! It broke my heart!
